Overview
In spaceBOUND, players step into the boots of two astronauts stranded on a desolate asteroid after their ship's destruction. Their only hope for survival lies within an abandoned mining facility, where they must find a way to escape. The core mechanic revolves around a shared oxygen tether; if one astronaut perishes or the tether snaps, both meet their demise. This unforgiving premise fuels a challenging puzzle-platformer experience.
